Followingis a sample run of the installation program on the diskette.
Basicunit installation program version 4.3

Networkconfiguration inside:
Physicaldevice name[eth0]:
IPaddress [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.242
Netmask/bits[255.255.255.0]: 255.255.0.0
Deactivateother interfaces? (y/n) [n]
Computersfrom which configuration is allowed:
Youcan select either a single computer or a network.
Configurefrom a single computer? (y/n) [y]
Ifyou choose to allow only one computer to configure the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the IP address
(thenetmask is set automatically).
IPaddress [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.240
Ifthis IP address is not on the same network as the inside of the Telecommuting Module, you are asked for the
router.Enter the IP address of the router on the network where the Telecommuting Module is connected. Now enter
thenetwork address and mask of the network containing the configuring computer.
Staticrouting:
Thecomputer allowed to configure from is not on a network local to
thisunit. You must configure a static route to it. Give
theIP address of the router on the network the unit is on.
TheIP address of the router [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.3.1
Networkaddress [10.47.0.0]: 10.10.0.0
Netmask[255.255.255.0]:
Youcan choose to allow several computers to configure the Telecommuting Module, by answering no to the
question:
Configurefrom a single computer? (y/n) [y] n
Theinstallation program then asks for the network number. The network number is the lowest IP address in the
seriesof numbers that includes the configuration computers (see chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP
TelecommutingModule). The network mask determines the number of computers that can act as configuration
computers.
Networknumber [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.0
Netmask/bits[255.255.255.0]: 255.255.255.0
Ifthe network or partial network is not directly connected to the Telecommuting Module, you must enter the IP
addressof the router leading to that network. Then enter the network’s address and mask.
